[QUOTE=BrainDeath;33783222]If those are the only others in the price range, go for it. The screen's IPS, like Apple's retina and it's dual core with a nvidia gpu, so every app will run fine on it.

But make sure there's nothing else in the price range.[/QUOTE]
I doubt there is. The Sensation is over $450 and the SII is about $560, and those were the only two other phones I really considered in the high-end Android market. Plus, the 2x is basically a SII with some small cutbacks (bluetooth, ram) and it's also way cheaper so I guess that's what I'm going for.
Now let's see the last one get bought and the price rise up to $500 while I'm trying to pay for this crap.
In that case, have fun and post what it's like, I'm planning on getting one.

Tegra 2, though from what I know, not extremely good, though it should handle whatever you throw at it, for now
It's not the best I know, but with more conventional graphics coming to android games, it's not like nvidia doesn't know their shit.
And it does look to be the best in price range.

Fuck yes, GTA 3 is back on the market for S2 again!
I am now the proud owner of a Galaxy S2! :dance: - are there any apps I should get?

If you're not planning to flash a custom ROM, WidgetLocker to get rid of the horrible TouchWiz lockscreen.
Anybody know what the Hotplug governor's characteristics are? I've just installed Android Revolution HD on my Nexus, and that's one of the governors it has. Never seen that type before.
Now watch as gary points him to XDA-Developers and tells him all about ~gawdmode~ and flashing & overclocking, because that's the only 3 things he knows about :v:

also sk17a, but fuck that joke, it's getting old already
anyways yeah, root it for greater customisability, performance and for apps that require root
flash a ROM for performance tweaks, themes, looks, newer android versions, overclocking and underclocking, I'd suggest CM if you like AOSP ROMs with loadsathemes or a custom TW ROM such as CheckROM if you like TouchWiz but optimised

If you could get a phone with an OMAP 4 or ST-Ericsson SoC, jump at it.

It's not Sony Ericsson, it's ST-Ericsson.
ST-Ericsson has very low market penetration right now though.

The Arc is like my phone that starts with [B]Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro S[/B] and ends with [B]k17a[/B] but without that large 4.2 inch screen and keyboard. I like the arc better since it can support more games because of the screen size...
oh my god stop going on about the sk17a for fuck sake
it isn't even remotely funny anymore

Urge to kill is almost too much to hold back.
Okay, I can't tell anymore. Is it just a joke or are people seriously pushing that it's a good phone? The whole Mini Pro thing lost its comedy value quite a few pages ago.

Then call it the mini pro, we get the idea what phone you've got.
[QUOTE=BrainDeath;33786111]I thought Sony Ericsson used snapdragons?[/QUOTE]
it does, my mini pro has it too. Although it's 1GHz, it's snappy enough :v:
